There was a time Trump suggested doing a trade agreement without items 2, 3 and 5, but his advisors convinced him to these were vital so they were negotiated as part of the trade treaty line by line, day after day.

Trump is genuinely offended that on the last day China deleted all section 2, 3 and 5 items from the trade agreement at the last minute.

For Trump this was the moment China bombed Pearl Harbor in a sneak-attack. This may seem like an unrelated metaphor to you, but it all makes sense to Trump. The Asian Emperor has betrayed him.

In this regard China has truly underestimated how petty Donald Trump has always been during his spoiled lifetime.

This offense of changing the agreement on the last day will be punished, even though Trump did not care about items 2, 3 and 5 at one time.

25% tariffs will soon apply to ALL of China's exports, and that 25% number can rise with a Tweet.

3) Technology Transfer

5) (subsidy transparency regarding) State Owned Enterprises

Xi will try to use flattery in person to bring Trump around, with his letter being the first example. A psychologist could predict the outcome better than I.
